This short guide will familiarise you with all of the features and functionality of your Kindle. Some Kindle features may not be available based on your country of residence or location. Please visit for more information about specific features. Setting up your Kindle Voyage Setting up your Kindle Voyage takes a few simple steps: Select your device language Connect to a wireless network Register your Kindle to your Amazon account Link your Kindle to your social network accounts (optional) If you haven't done these steps yet, go to the Home screen now, select Set Up Your Kindle, and follow the onscreen prompts. If you bought your Kindle online using your Amazon account, it is already registered to you. To verify, tap the Home icon and look for your Amazon user name in the upper left corner of the Home screen. If it says My Kindle or shows the name of a previous owner instead of your own Amazon account name, you'll need to register it. To register a Kindle that has been previously registered, tap the Quick Actions icon on the toolbar, and then tap All Settings. On the Settings page, tap Registration and Household, and then Register/Deregister Device. If you have enabled Sign in Approval, you will need to enter your passcode followed by the security code sent to your phone when you register the device. If you have difficulty connecting to your wireless network or need more information, see Network Connectivity. Once you have completed the setup process, Set Up Your Kindle will no longer appear on your Home screen. Kindle controls You need to learn only a few controls to use your Kindle Voyage.

23 Kindle Voyage User s Guide 4th Edition 23 Chapter 4 Reading Kindle Documents Chapter 4 Reading Kindle Documents Understanding Kindle display technology Your Kindle uses a high-resolution display technology called electronic paper. The display is reflective, which means you can read it clearly even in bright sunlight. Electronic paper uses ink just like books and newspapers, but it displays the ink particles electronically. On occasion, your screen may appear to flash. This is part of the process of refreshing the e- reader page display. By default, your Kindle features fast, smooth page turns, minimising the number of flashes. To refresh the page with every page turn, tap the Quick Actions icon on the toolbar, and then tap All Settings. On the Settings page, tap Reading Options and use the Page Refresh setting to set your preference. For manga refresh settings, tap the Menu icon when reading a manga book, and then tap the Page Refresh On/Off setting. Customising your text display Your Kindle provides a quick way to adjust the appearance of books and periodicals. To access those settings when reading, tap the top of the screen to bring up the toolbars, and then tap the Display Settings icon (Aa). A dialog box displays that lets you change the font size, typeface, line spacing and margins of the content on the Kindle screen. Font options include Bookerly, created exclusively for Kindle and designed for digital screens. The Publisher Font option is available on selected books that include the ability to view the fonts embedded by the publisher. You may be prompted to update your Kindle if new fonts are available. Note that your Kindle also applies kerning, optimises large fonts, and automatically optimises line spacing for faster, easier reading across all fonts. Comic and manga books Comic and manga books come alive with Kindle Panel View. To enter Kindle Panel View, double-tap the screen. To navigate through the panels, swipe your finger across the screen or tap the sides of the screen. To exit Kindle Panel View, double-tap the screen again.
